Thank you for purchasing a TBRC wing. Kit Contents 1: 1x Left Wing Core 2: 1x Right Wing Core 3: 1x Blunt Centre Section Core 4: 1x Carbon Fiber Tube 5: 2x Fiberglass Rods Long 6: 1x Fiberglass Rod Short... - Page 3 Step 1 Smear a very thin layer of Goop on the inside of the equipment bay. This is to allow Velcro to adhere better and add a bit more strength to the bay. Step 2 Identify your left wing, right wing centre blunt section and your carbon fiber tube.
- Page 4 Step 3 Mix some Gorilla Glue with a few drops of water in a separate cup and lather up the entire carbon tube. Working quickly, insert it into the centre blunt section and then lather your Gorilla Glue mixture onto one side of the blunt. Press the blunt and the matching wing together making sure the carbon tube is pushed all the way into the wing.
- Page 5 Step 4 Do this for both the left and right wings. On the top of your wing mark a line about 1 inch back from the leading edge. Cut along this line about 1/2 inch deep. This cut should extend from the wingtip all the way into the blunt section.
- Page 6 Step 5 On the underside of the wings we will be adding the carbon fiber flat spars and the small fiberglass rod. mark a line from the trailing edge at the wing tip to the nose of the plane just inside the blunt section. Cut along this line just deep enough for the carbon spars.
- Page 7 Step 6 We now need to cut out part of the back of the wings to fit the propeller. Measure it to the size propeller you want to use. If you're using a 6 inch propeller measure 6cm along the trailing edge from the inner most part of the wing and draw a line from this point to 6mm from where the wing meets the blunt.
- Page 8 Step 7 Add some slight scratches to one side of the horizontal section of the motor mount for extra surface area for the glue to stick to. Apply Gorilla glue along the back of the bunt section of your wing and to the side notches which will glue your motor mount on 3 sides.
- Page 9 Step 8 Use either 150 or 220 grit sandpaper. Lightly sand the surface of the wing to help the laminate adhere better to the foam. The foam surface should feel almost fuzzy to the touch. ****Now is a great time to paint your plane if you desire.
- Page 10 Step 10 Do this for both elevons. Measure your elevons to be the same length as your trailing edge of your wing. You can leave the elevon full sized, but we recommend you cut them to match this shape. To achieve this shape, a: Cut the inside at the same angle as your propeller slot on your plane.
- Page 11 Step 11 Laminate your Elevons. Once they are covered, cut 4 strips of laminate about 50 mm wide and as long as your elevons. Lay one strip on top of your elevon and laminate it to your wing. Turn your plane upside down and use a 2nd strip to laminate the underside of the elevon to your plane.
- Page 12 Using 35% expo and setting dual rates is up to personal preference. Step 14 One of the unique features of the TBRC Reflex is its winglets. Their unique design and positioning will improve airflow around the wingtips and create less drag leading to you flying faster and longer.
- Page 13 You now have yourself a TBRC Reflex 38 ready for flight. Make sure you balance your plane on your cg mark, 140mm from the nose, and you'll have a good time.
